One of Russell Wilson ’s teammates has shown him some support following criticism of the quarterback.
The 34-year-old has come under fire for his performances during the course of his first season with the Denver Broncos. The AFC West team traded five draft picks, including two first- and two second-rounders, as well as three players to the Seattle Seahawks to sign Wilson in March 2022. Prior to this season, he signed an extension worth $245million, but the franchise hasn’t had much joy since. The three-time Super Bowl winners finished bottom of the league averaging just 16.9 points per game.
Wilson finished the campaign with a career-low 16 touchdown passes to go with a career-high 55 sacks. Despite posting some poor numbers last season, the Broncos’ left tackle Garett Bolles had a strong message for his teammates’ detractors. “He’s a great dude, he’s the same guy every single day, he works his butt off,” Bolles told ESPN. “And I’m ready for that stuff to go away and when it goes, everyone’s going to eat crow.”
